The given data is
t, h: 0 2 4 6 8 10
r(t), L/h: 8.6 7.9 6.8 6.4 5.7 5.3
The lower and upper estimates for the total amount that leaked may be computed as the Left and Right Riemann sums.
The shape of the graph of r versus will determine which of the two sums yields an upper or lower sum.
The plot of the graph is shown below.
The Left Riemann sum is
Sl = 2*(8.6+7.9+6.8+6.4+5.7) = 70.8 L
The Right Riemann sum is
Sr = 2*(7.9+6.8+6.4+5.7+5.3) = 64.2 L
Answer:
The lower estimate for oil leakage is 64.2 L
The upper estimate for oil leakage is 70.8 L
ANSWER
D.

EXPLANATION
The given graph rises on the left and falls on the right.
This implies that the degree of the function is even.
Since the graph opens downward, the coefficient of the leading term must be negative.
The graph graph of the function also has 3 intercepts with one of them having an even multiplicity.
This means that the degree must be 4.
Therefore the last choice is correct.
The answer is <span>A. 142.
After a profound research, I found out that the wheel numbers are:
